Porta potties in a lineup rise above the fray

Serving people throughout the long day…”

Yes, this company did indeed write a poem — an ode, actually — to the portable toilet. Why not? Supplying porta-pots is their business. But the two lines quoted are all that are necessary; there is no reason to subject you to the rest of it. Should you be curious (and I surely hope not), a quick search will bring the entire ode to your screen.

We seem to have a love-hate relationship with these little plastic buildings. They are not attractive. We don’t want to go near them. They smell. And they are hardly cleanest of places. But when the need arises, a portable potty can be a very welcome site.

At this construction site they decided to group all the portables together, almost like a little community. No waiting!

Oak Island Saltwater Marsh Panorama

Oak Island Beach Marsh Areal Composition 7

This panorama composite of 6 drone photos was captured over the saltwater marsh near the lighthouse at Oak Island Beach, North Carolina. In the United States, 400ft (122m) is the ceiling for flying drones. To capture this broader view, I captured 2 rows of 3 overlapping images to create a pano in Lightroom. I estimate this gives an equivalent 800ft (244m) view of the marsh.

Cheers,
